After retiring, he went on to become the team’s most successful manager in franchise history, nearly tripling their number of postseason appearances since he took the helm.

After months of speculation regarding his future, Counsell surprisingly decided to take a managing job for Milwaukee’s rivals, the Chicago Cubs. As the headline shows, this enraged many Brewers fans, who think Craig Counsell is now a Traitor.

In fact, Counsell was on base when they scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning. Recall my recent work on how this year’s 119th World Series was a massive 9/11 riddle.
